Can't always raise orchids? Just remember these five points.

Since ancient times, the orchid has been the symbol of elegance and cleanness, and its profound gentlemanly temperament has attracted countless scholars and writers. Mr. Zheng Banqiao, a famous scholar in the Qing Dynasty, once left "eternal virginity is this flower" to praise the noble temperament of orchids.

However, because orchids are typical flowers in the south, there are always all kinds of problems in the conservation in the north. So, is it doomed to grow orchids in the north? In fact, in the conservation of orchids, pay attention to the following points on it.

one

Carefully select the basin

Pay attention to the maintenance of orchids when it is best to use pottery tile flowerpots or mud pots, this kind of flowerpots have good air permeability, which is conducive to the growth of orchids.

If there are no earthen pots or mud pots at home, flowerpots of other materials will be fine, but do not use purple sand pots, which are poor in water permeability and air permeability, which is not conducive to the healthy growth of orchids.

Orchids avoid rotten roots, so it is best to drill a few small holes next to the flowerpot or pad a few broken tiles at the bottom of the flowerpot before transplanting the orchid, so as to increase the drainage and air permeability in the pot.

two

Mix the soil well

When growing orchids, you can buy special soil for orchids, and of course, you can prepare your own soil if you don't want to invest too much money.

It is suggested that when preparing soil, rotten leaf soil, compost and sand should be mixed at 5:3:2 as the soil for orchid cultivation. Peat and sand can also be mixed at 2:1, the maintenance effect is also good.

three

Pick a location

Orchids belong to semi-negative plants, which are very sensitive to excessive sunlight, so avoid strong direct sunlight. In the northern area, pay attention to the location during daily maintenance, and pay attention to shading from 10: 00 a.m. to 5: 00 p.m. Every day to avoid strong light.

In summer, the orchids should be moved back to a cool and ventilated place for maintenance, and astigmatism can be maintained in spring and autumn. Especially in autumn, pay attention to the need to put orchids in places where astigmatism can shine for maintenance, appropriate light will help to promote flower bud differentiation, conducive to its early flowering.

four

Attach importance to watering

In the process of orchid growth, proper watering is the key to raising orchids. Many people who can't raise orchids are mostly because they can't be watered.

The first is the water quality. generally speaking, the tap water in the north is slightly alkaline, which is disadvantageous to the growth of orchids, so it is recommended to collect some Rain Water or snow water on weekdays, which is undoubtedly the best to water orchids.

There are orchids do not like the environment where there is too much water, so pay attention to the amount and frequency of watering during daily maintenance. Remember that too much watering leads to the rotten roots of orchids.

In addition, we should also pay attention to watering according to the specific season and weather. To put it simply, it is normal watering in spring and autumn, increase the amount of water appropriately in summer, and spray some clear water around orchids in winter to increase air humidity.

five

Prudent fertilization

Although it is necessary to apply flower fertilizer in the process of maintaining orchids, it is still necessary to apply fertilizer carefully so as not to cause fertilizer damage. According to the principle of applying thin fertilizer frequently, choose completely mature organic fertilizer and apply it every ten days during the growing period.

Pay attention to the time of fertilization do not choose evening or rainy days, fertilization should be more careful, do not splash fertilizer on the leaves, so as not to burn orchids.
